Rice: the end of the decade?
All Hans Blix was asking for was a few more months to complete the inspection process. Which, as events have proven, would ahve shown that Iraq had no nukes and no way of making anyway. Haste makes waste: in his instance 1060 American sevicemen and 10,000+ Iraqis.

"I stand by to this day the correctness of the decision to take seriously an intelligence assessment that Saddam Hussein would likely have a nuclear weapon by the end of the decade if you didn't do something," she said."

http://www.reuters.co.uk/newsPackageArticle.jhtml?type=worldNews&storyID=595669§ion=news

Condoleezza Rice, Bush's national security adviser, defended her claim in 2002 about former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's nuclear capabilities and laid the blame for faulty intelligence on departed CIA Director George Tenet.

"The director of central intelligence believed that the centrifuge part for these tubes ... were a part of a procurement effort for a reconstituted nuclear weapons program," Rice said on ABC's "This Week."

She said she was aware there was a debate about some of the pre-war evidence against Saddam, but she said intelligence officials deemed the overall threat to be credible.

1. Centrifuges aren't just for nuke material.
The Scientific uses of Extreme SPIN are many!

Apparently they can be used to separate ideology from reality.
Greed from Reason.
People from their wallets.
Voters from their rights.
etc.

6. You can tell Condi's lies
As she grins bigger and shakes head side to side.
This is her "TELL" in poker speak.
"We never imagined planes as missiles..."

Like when bush does his smirky laugh.
He knows he's getting away with something.
Like everything in his life.

8. Speaking of Condi
Where the hell is she? In Dick Cheney's undisclosed location? Anyone notice she has been missing in action for quite a while now? We use to see her stupid ass constantly then she just dropped completely off the radar.

9. she is a pathetic sad woman
The bush's are her only family. They probably despise her. She has to get out there and cover up their lies and murder just to have someone like and accept her. So sad. She is no better than a murderer in my opinion, and I hope she and the rest of them are convicted of war crimes.
